Frog have three 26" wheel hybrid bikes, and the Frog 67 is the smallest, and is for children with an inside leg measurement of 63cm-76cm.

It's a versatile bike which rides well on most terrains so is a good choice for anyone who isn't really specialising in one particular type of cycling.

One word of warning - Frog is very much known as a kids bike brand, so if you have a shorter but older child (particularly an image conscious one in their teens) you may encounter the desire to move onto a more "adult" brand.

Black Mountain Bikes have a really clever "growing frame" which means that when your child outgrows the original frame size you can adjust the frame and the gearing to make it last much longer.

This means you get at least two bikes for your money and don't have the hassle of having to sort out a new bike. 

The KAPĒL is their 18" wheel offering, but taller children may want to move straight onto the 20" wheel HUTTØ to get maximum usage.

Most 18" wheel bike are single speed, meaning they don't have gears.  The KAPĒL is one of the exceptions, making it ideal for those who regularly ride hills.  Do remember that not all children are ready to start using gears at this age.  

Another clever feature about these bikes is the fact that they can start out in balance bike mode if needed (you do need to buy an additional balance bike convertor kit) so your child can progress from learning to balance through to pedalling all without you needing to buy a new bike.

The Black Mountain HUTTO is a good choice if you want to save money and hassle over time. This is because it's got a very clever "growing" frame that increases in size so it will last a lot longer than a standard bike.

Having a bike that you know is going to last will be such a relief, as you don't have to do all this searching for a bike again for a while!

There are 7 easy to use gears, which are operated by a grip shifter (which your child twists with their right hand), which will make the transition to a "big" bike nice and easy.

Black Mountain Bikes really are targeting the top end of the quality kids bike market, with not only a very well specified bike, but also their attention to detail with their customer service and commitment to the environment (all their packaging is plastic free). We also like the fact that the warranty is transferable - a nice touch not found with other brands.

Upgrades available include mountain bike mode with disc brakes and suspension forks if you're planning to do a lot of off road riding, or a balance bike adaptor kit if your child is not pedalling.

The Frog 73 is a good all round bike which will be happy on most terrains so ideal for children who ride anywhere and aren't specializing in any one particular kind of cycling.

It has an 8 speed Shimano gear system operated by thumb shifters and having an 11-32T cassette, which should be good for all but the steepest hills.

The larger Frog bikes have lost the childish branding of the smaller bikes, so should appeal to an older audience.  However if you have a shorter but older child in their teens don't be surprised if you find some resistance and the desire to move onto a more "adult" brand, as Frog is very much known as a kids bike brand. 

Subscribe to the Bike Club and get the Frog 73 for a low monthly cost. When it gets too small just upgrade it for a bigger Frog.

The Specialized Rockhopper Sport is a lightweight alloy framed mountain bike which features hydraulic disc brakes for confident speed control. 

The Specialized Rockhopper is a name that's definitely part of mountain biking history, with the first bike rolling out of the factory way back in 1985.

The tried and tested formula employed by Specialized of creating a good all-rounder at a decent price point still rings true for the Rockhopper Sport.
With an XS and S frame available this is a good entry level mountain bike for a teenager or tall tween who's outgrown the kids bike range.

The Frog 78 is the largest of Frog's three 26" wheel bikes, and is an all round bike suitable for children (or smaller adults!) with a minimum inside leg of 78cm.   

The handlebars can be adjusted within a 54mm range and there's a quick release seat post that makes adjusting the saddle height easy to do. Your kid should hopefully therefore get a decent amount of time on this bike, but some kids do grow very rapidly at this age. 

It's comforting therefore to know the Frog Bikes really hold their value, so if you keep it well maintained you should be able to sell it on to fund the next bike.

The woom 5 has a slightly more of an upright riding style than some other kids bikes and can be fitted with a kickstand and mudguards (available to buy seperately) making it good for regular commuting all year round.

However, it also has Kenda small block tyres and 8 Speed 29 T by 11-32T gearing (operated by a SRAM X4 Twist Grip) which makes it fun to ride off road too and has the gearing to get up some quite steep hills.

We've reviewed a couple of the smaller Woom Bikes and were incredibly impressed with the quality and attention to detail. If you think of an Austrian bike built with the same quality and attention to detail as Islabikes, then you can understand why this bike isn't cheap, but is well worth the price tag.

The Cube Acid 240 AllRoad is Cube's entry level mountain bike (the Cube Acid 240) with additional accessories (mudguards, LED lights and kickstand) for riding on road.

The result will be suited to children who are riding gentle off road routes at the weekend (and therefore appreciate the suspension) and who are also riding to school in the week. 

If they're only riding on road, then a hybrid bike without suspension will be lighter and possibly quicker to ride, without the hassle of maintaining the suspension fork.

For the old-school mountain biking parents there’s a lot of love and nostalgia for rigid mountain bikes. Without the suspension they’ll be more in tune with the trail, and as a result they can learn some great handling skills to take into their cycling lives, both on-road and off. The Scott Scale 26 compensates for the lack of suspension with plush 2.4” tyres, so the ride will still be very comfortable. It also comes with 16-speed Shimano Tourney gearing and hydraulic disc brakes.
